Three of the four Premiers France has had in the past year have been members of the misnamed Radical Socialist Party -neither Radicals nor Socialists but men of Liberal bourgeois stamp.

He then appealed for an initial vote of confidence in a speech which was in effect the answer of France to Germany's withdrawal from the Disarmament Conference (TIME...
